Calafiori out of Pompey clash


Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Riccardo Calafiori will be sidelined for the FA Cup third round tie against Portsmouth on the road tomorrow.

The Gunners have had a fascinating campaign and they are still with the chance of winning every competition.

The club have bowed out in the FA Cup third round in the last two seasons, and will be aiming to end the streak this time.

Arsenal will be in action against Pompey at Fratton Park on Sunday and Arteta has said that Calafiori won’t be involved.

The Italian picked up a muscle injury in the warm-up against Brighton & Hove Albion last month, and has not recovered yet.

He has entered the last phase of his rehabilitation, but the upcoming game at Portsmouth will come too soon for the left-back.

Piero Hincapie also picked up a muscle injury in the last game, and it could be Myles Lewis-Skelly starting at left-back tomorrow.
